Germaine Greer
continuing sexual interest and perfect sexual adjustment between partners who have been together for thirty years is so difficult and rare that no one should feel guilty or inadequate for not having managed it.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Men have still not realized that letting women do so much of the work for so little reward makes a man in the house an expensive luxury rather than a necessity.
Germaine Greer
After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condition of perpetual girlishness called femininity, we cannot remember what femaleness is.
Germaine Greer
Next time round Hitler will be a machine.
Germaine Greer
The house wife is an unpaid employee in her husband's house in return for the security of being a permanent employee.
Germaine Greer
